101 Thoughts Keeping Me Awake: Part Two

51. What's the time? Oh, 9 pm.Wait, what?? 3 A.M.!??
52. And there goes my "Wake up early, Be happy" plan down the drain.
53.  I really should sleep.
54. But tomorrow is Sunday. Sunday = Fun-day (or so Instagram says).
55. Exactly. So for fun you need to wake up. Which means..
56. Wait. 3 am. Devil's Hour. OKAY.
57. They don't exist. Nope. Unless..
58. I need distraction. Devil, devil... Devil in Pinstripes. Devil Wears Prada. Cruella de Vil. 101 Dalmatians.
59. Aww, dogs. Dogs are love. They are the best companions ever. (Better than humans, I believe)
60. Even Milo from The Mask was adorable.
61. Milo is back, right? In the canteen? I mean the chocolate drink :P
62. I remember collecting freebies from these products when I was a kid. My mom could convince me to buy them only because of the free goodies.
63. Childhood was good. No worries. Actually we had worries. But they were so insignificant. Like, "Will it rain today? They promised to let me bat today. They better stick to their word."
64. We used to play so many sports; cricket, football, basketball and our classic indigenous games like Lagori, Chain, Kho-Kho Hopscotch, Langdi, Chuppa-Chuppi... Those were good, ol' days.
65. Never realized when books and marks took over our life now, did we? At least, I didn't.
66. Suddenly, Taylor Swift's song, "Wish I'd never grown up" makes a lot of sense.
67. The more we grow, the more we explore and broaden the horizon of our mind.
68. Horizon. Where did I hear that before? Oh yes, Attitude Indicator.
69. Why am I even thinking about that? (-_-)
70. I really should sleep. Tomorrow is Sunday. Sunday is... Vada Day! I completely forgot!
71. Which came first, Vada or Doughnut? (Pretty irrelevant because I love them both.)
72. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
73. "Why did the chicken cross the road?", asked Modiji. "Because, the roads in Gujarat are smooth."  (Yep, I snitched this joke from really creative sources a.k.a AIB XD)
74. How do comedians make jokes ALL THE TIME? Is it imbibed in their DNA? Or do they learn jokes and keep for future reference?
75. Stand up comedy has become a major profession now, hasn't it?
76. What if I.... Nope. Nope. I'll make a really sad comedian.
77. Still, they are pretty chill no? Their life. And their friends. And their life. Again.
78. Its pretty cold tonight. Roomie asleep. I'll switch off the fan.
79. Why does the fan have 3 blades? What if it was not fixed? Will it fly away like the rotor of a helicopter?
80. What am I even thinking. Sheesh.
81. Okay, let's do it the Mr. Bean way. Let us count the number of sheep to fall asleep. (That rhymes!)
82.Ready? One two buckle my shoe, three four shut the door, five six.... something fix?
83. I don't even remember the rhymes. I'm pathetic.
84. Wait. What happened to the sheep? Oh, of course. They slept.
85. Am I the only one awake at this hour?
86. I can hear the birds chirping. They have started a new day and I haven't even finished the old one.
87. If I sleep now I'll wake up at noon.
88. Half-a-day wasted. Better not sleep.
89. I'll go for a walk. Wait. It's raining. Awesome.
90. My clothes!! Aargh!! (-_-)
91. Rain rain go away. Don't come again.
92. Okay, I'll keep the alarm for quarter to nine. I won't miss the Vada then.
93. But siriusly, what came first? Vada or Doughnut?
94. Get it? 'Sirius'ly. (Slow Clap)
95. Harry Potter references never get old.
96. However, I am. Getting old, that is.
97. Wait, almost 20? Wow. Bye teens. Hello reality.
98.  Reality is an illusion. Are we an illusion too?
99. Sleep is an illusion for me now. How did I even stay up the WHOLE night!?
100. "Is it too late now to say Good Night?"  ( Or too early to say Good Morning?)
101. Alright, time to wake....

And thus, I fell asleep. Only to be woken up by the "Wake up, Wake up, It's a brand, new day" alarm five minutes later.
